Kintana vs Skiddle
Own your site and your list — not only your listing on someone else's guide.
Skiddle is a long-standing UK ticketing platform with a popular What's On guide, Promotion Centre for organisers, RapidScan entry, and marketing tools like Brand Alerts and E-flyers. Kintana is for teams who want checkout, CRM, marketing sites, and email on their own brand and domain — with Stripe payouts and a workspace they control, in the UK and beyond.
Often a fit if you are…
- Acts and promoters who want fans buying on their domain — not only on Skiddle listing pages
- Teams building an owned email list across multiple shows and cities
- Organisers touring internationally who need more than a UK-centric discovery guide

Why teams switch
What changes after migration
Your brand, not only your listing
Skiddle's guide drives discovery — Kintana gives you the destination: your domain, your checkout, and confirmation emails that match your act or venue, with every buyer in your CRM automatically.
Mail and CRM across the tour
Segments by show, city, and purchase history live in one workspace. Run drips and campaigns without coordinating Skiddle alerts, separate mail tools, and spreadsheet exports after every on-sale.
Beyond UK club nights
Built for English-speaking markets globally — Stripe-native payouts, multi-currency workspaces, and tools for touring comics and promoters who do not live entirely inside one national events guide.
